King Charles responds to claims made by Earl Spencer, Charles Spencer, in a memoir about Princess Diana, according to statements reported by multiple outlets. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson says grief can “cloud reason,” potentially affecting judgment and memory.

The response centers on how the allegations are remembered and interpreted rather than directly endorsing or refuting specific details. Both sources describe the same general position attributed to the Palace: that intense grief during the period in question may influence how events are recalled and assessed.

While the reports agree on the Palace’s wording and intent, they differ mainly in framing. Yahoo! UK News presents it as Charles’s personal response to the book claims, whereas The Hindu focuses on what was said in the reply as reported by the Palace. Neither source, in the excerpts provided, adds new verified evidence or specific contextual details beyond the general explanation about grief and its effects.
